Title: Smokeless Officer Barrage
Post by: Chancellor on July 21, 2010, 09:50:57 PM
Hey guys, I think there is a bug with the USSR officer barrage, where there is a small percentage chance that the red smoke does not appear before the shells start landing.  I've experienced this playing Wehr a few times, and I've also had it happen once when I was playing USSR too.  (As USSR I couldn't see the smoke before the barrage either)

I'm wondering if this has been addressed and will be fixed in the upcoming patch.  Thanks.

Without being a 100 percent certain, being in the thick of some cutthroat matches with my friend when the situation arose,I'm pretty sure I've experienced this issue often. 

Not that there's a legitimate reason how it could happen this way...but I keep wondering if the smoke isn't showing up when I scroll onto the screen right after the officer pops it.  I know it dissipates before it lands(or I think it does), but I'm talking about a lengthy window of no warning before it finally drops on top of my units, that I was sitting there babysitting.

It's not limited to the officer barrage. Lots of abilities in the game have the no-smoke bug.

yeah its a COH bug I believe usually cause when you move the camera around a bit you just seem to miss the smoke sometimes..

ahhh alright; I guess I just noticed it more for the USSR officer because its free and comes more often than other barrages.
